One ordinary afternoon, her husband stepped out to check the mail, and her life changed forever.
He had always handled their finances. When he passed, she didn’t know where the checkbook, the life insurance or their accounts were. It took her two years to sort it all out while she was grieving.
If one of you handles the money, take a few minutes this week to walk the other through it: where things are, and who to call.
Share this with someone you love. It could make a hard time a little easier.

Garry got to sit down on air with Erik and his team, meet a room full of new friends, and talk about what real retirement planning looks like. Garry covered why we chose Knoxville, what the Great Wealth Transfer means for your family, and how to protect what you’ve worked your whole life for.

When one spouse passes away, the emotional loss is hard enough. What many couples don’t plan for is how it can change the finances.
The surviving spouse generally keeps the higher of the two Social Security benefits, and the lower one stops. On top of that, they may move from the married filing jointly bracket to the single bracket. That can mean less income coming in while paying more in taxes.
It’s not a fun conversation, but it’s one worth having before you need to. A plan can help you prepare for what the surviving spouse may face.
